Italian manufacturer Isotta Fraschini is set to test its FIA WEC-bound Tipo 6 LMH Competizione for the first time on April 11th and 12th at the Vallelunga circuit in Italy.
At the test the hybrid-powered Hypercar will be driven by Michelotto Engineering test driver Maurizio Mediani, who has previous prototype experience in the FIA WEC as part of SMP Racing’s LMP2 effort. Mediani has also been involved in the simulator development of the Tipo 6 LMH.
The shakedown test follows two 4WD dyno runs during February and March. The car has also completed its mandatory crash test in recent days, as part of its FIA homologation process.
This news also follows a recent visit to the Isotta Fraschini headquarters by former Formula 1 and FIA WEC driver Pastor Maldonado.
The intention for Isotta is to test the car and then request race-by-race entries for it later in the 2023 FIA WEC season. The aim is to debut the car in July for the brand’s home race at Monza, which is final European stop on the schedule.
